I was finally able to use this feature again with the latest update. Thank you Adobe for fixing this at last.

Finally I can send pictures directly from Lightroom Classic by my Gmail account again. The only thing I had to do was to create a password for the Lightroom Classic app in my Gmail account. Pfff......

*santi_lopez_photography It is incredible that the problem was spotted one month ago and haven't got to a solution, hope they fix it soon.

It is fixed now (update 10.1).

Log out and back in to the Creative Cloud desktop app. That sometimes causes updates to appear.

@Michael Bartkoski go to the updates tab > ... menu and check for updates. That should give it a bump start, they're rolled out slowly around the world to avoid crashing the servers.

Not to me.  When I go to Lightroom and click updates it still shows 10.0 and says up to date in Creative Cloud for Lightroom Classic
